Welcome ToThe Black Coffee Life
Sip Smarter.
Live Better.
Hi, I’m Mark. I never drank coffee. Then, in early 2025, I was diagnosed with a serious liver condition. One of the strategies I was given by the doctor to address the problem was to drink 2-3 cups of “black” coffee (no sweeteners or creamers) per day.
I initially approached it as “coffee as medicine,” and simply put up with the bitterness and burnt taste of what I was drinking. But then, as my coffee journey progressed, I discovered the different beans, grinds, and brewing methods that coffee offers–and that drinking coffee black not only had health benefits but could taste good, too!
